Cao Ju's Luan Jia has just returned to the Yangxin Palace, after all, he is old, and there will be a state banquet after a short rest, during which the envoys of the vassal states will also offer congratulatory gifts and the like, and the etiquette things are cumbersome and indispensable.

Qin Kang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Nan, the second assistant of the Purple Pole Palace, and Xu Nan, and Chen Zongxiang, the second assistant of the Wenxuan Pavilion University, were discussing the personnel of the two prefectures in the Northeast Jiyou that had been submitted by the Ministry of Officials.

Qin Kang is also an evergreen tree in the political arena, starting from the 20-year-old high school champion all the way up, from the Hanlin Academy to the local government and then to the central government, the resume everywhere makes people can't find fault with it, from the 20th year of Chengkang began to enter the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, Qin Kang was just forty years old at that time, which is rare in the entire Dazheng for more than 200 years.

Tianshun four years Qin Kang became the first assistant of the cabinet at the age of forty-seven, and it was also this year that his young son was born and named Qin Hui, Qin Kang, who was old and had a son, was very pleased, and he was taught by famous sages everywhere since he was a child, and he was extremely pampered, and Qin Hui also lived up to expectations, he was quick and agile at a young age, and he was recognized as a great talent, even Cao Ju had praised it several times, plus his appearance was delicate, and he didn't know how many big girls were in her dreams.

At the beginning of this year, Qin Kang gave his youngest son a crown ceremony in advance, and then in March, he was lifted in the spring of March, and then in the April palace test, it stands to reason that Qin Hui had to participate in the Tongshi-style township test all the way out of the encirclement, but Qin Kang became a talk in all this, and Cao Ju didn't care when he heard about it afterwards, but smiled: "Talents have their own experiences, and it is also a move of the sages to avoid relatives." A fluttering sentence is the certainty.

Becoming famous at a young age is always flamboyant, Qin Hui even went directly to the Ministry of Officials to find the Ministry of Officials Shangshu and asked to send him to the auspicious place, but I heard that the situation in the Northeast has been complicated recently, and several forces on the grassland have fought to the death, even with Han, the country is not stable, Qin Xiaogongzi feels that the southeast is stable, and the northwest is mainly not suitable for his long-sleeved and versatile elegance, and he must have his own place in the northeast and does not need to be said to be the son of Qinfu like in the capital.

Hu Quan, the secretary of the ministry, was Qin Kang's protégé, so he naturally didn't dare to call the shots in this kind of thing, so he put an explanation in the selection of the ministry and asked his old master to decide.

Qin Kang didn't want his young son to go to the northeast so far away and a little chaotic, according to his arrangement, he would stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few years with peace of mind, and then he could be transferred back by delegating the local government experience and training, whether it was the six departments or the Yamen, it was not just a random pick, and there were several of his brothers and uncles in the future, how bright and bright it was.

Why do you look at the Northeast?

Qin Kang was puzzled, but he knew what virtue his young son had, he was a humble gentleman in front of outsiders, and he dared to pull his beard in front of him, so he had to brush his beard when he thought about it. Besides, the people below are watching, and they can't stop it.

Well, it's a bit of a dilemma.

"The great minister, the son has great talents and should be cultivated well, if he is transferred to a good place, is it too wronged?"

After Xu Nan finished speaking, Chen Zongxiang followed and said: "Yes, the dynasty is the time to employ people, and the son's name is known both inside and outside, this high school is the time to serve the country, how can we bury our talents because of some possible gossip." The prime minister should be virtuous and not avoid relatives! ”

Qin Kang didn't say anything, just stroked his beard and pondered, maybe delayed?

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, Ji Yu is remote, what can there be?

"The dog is clumsy, he can't be the great talent of the country, this luck is the weight of heaven's grace, as for the auspicious place, involving the border and important places, let him experience it again."

Xu Nan Chen Zongxiang looked at each other after listening, you and I both understood, and then said: "The great minister is really the virtuous and virtuous of the country!" ”

"Alas, old man"

"Qin Ge Lao~"

Before Qin Kang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei An, who came in a hurry.

Looking at Pei An, who was approaching quickly and panting, the three of them all had an ominous premonition. Who is Pei An? The left squire of the military department, the second-in-command of the military department, and his temper has always been stinky and hard, what can make him run over?

Several people looked at each other and furrowed their eyebrows.

Pei An ran in and didn't care about saluting, so he directly slammed the military newspaper in his hand to Qin Kang's nose, and also bumped into Qin Kang's excellent hair.

"Ge Lao, Huizhou Military News, Yasukuni has invaded the border and has captured Linhai County."

"What?"

Qin Kang, who was shocked, didn't care about Pei An's rudeness, and hurriedly grabbed the military newspaper to unfold it, and the two auxiliary assistants next to him were also surprised.

"Yasukuni? Isn't it the islands two thousand miles away from the sea to the east? ”

Chen Zongxiang himself is a native of Huizhou, and he knows a little about the overseas countries in the east.

Pei An still gasped and replied: "Go back to Chen Ge Lao, it is this country." ”

"But wasn't Yasukuni still in the midst of a five-nation melee last year, so how could it have the spare strength to attack our counties?" Xu Nan thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Qin Kang and said, "Great Minister, there must be great changes in Yasukuni or it has been unified. ”

General Qin Kang handed the report to the two assistants and said: "What Xu Xianggong said is reasonable, but now we should consider how many troops need to be dispatched for the matter of Huizhou, and the army of Jingda mentioned in this military newspaper is called 1.5 million, and 1.5 million is definitely not available, but 500,000 is not guaranteed, and it is not enough to rely on more than 40,000 guards and more than 10,000 Yujing troops in Huizhou." ”

"But at the moment, the enemy's situation is unknown, and the lower officials heard that there are two Yasukuni outside the East China Sea, which one is coming this time?"

"The lower officials thought it must be Jinghe. Xiaguan's ancestral home is Huizhou, so he has some understanding that there are two Yasukuni overseas, one is called Jinghe, and the other is called Jingwu, and the population of Jingwu is small and weak, and the population of the whole country may not be enough for one million, less than 500 li, and it is scattered on many small islands, and it has always been subordinated to Hanji and Ji, so it is absolutely impossible to be Jingwu. Jinghe is mainly concentrated on the eight major islands, thousands of miles wide, with a population of tens of millions, its people are fierce and evil, fighting and fearing the strong, the former Chu had repeatedly committed the cruelty and murder of the former Chu county and county, and it is difficult to write a book, and the common people call it the beast army, also known as the ghost army. Jingwu took advantage of the civil strife in Jingwu two hundred years ago to become independent, so Jinghe has always wanted to annex Jingwu and reassign it to unification, but the sailor was defeated by Han Jiwu and the three kingdoms of the alliance army were defeated. This time, there will be a war in Huizhou, and it will be Jinghe and the country will be unified, and then I will send troops to my Dazheng. ”

Qin Kang listened to the heavy color, some people may think that the movement has just ended, where is the chaos and there is enough strength to cross nearly two thousand miles of sea to attack another powerful country, but Qin Kang thought that after the war, there is not only a broken regime and people's livelihood, but also many soldiers who have nowhere to place, according to Chen Zongxiang, these people have fought for at least two hundred years, when war has become the normal life of a generation, the society is full of violence, not to mention several generations.

Qin Kang asked Pei An, "Has your family Shangshu already entered the palace?" ”

"Returning to the pavilion, it is exactly, such a major event does not dare to delay, and the saint should already know about it at this time."

Qin Kang's brows tightened a little more, he was a little worried about whether Cao Ju's body would be able to withstand hearing the news.

"Boning, you quickly return to the military headquarters, there will definitely be a more detailed military report from Huizhou soon, you send it as soon as possible, you personally send it to Shengshang, and send one to here, and send someone to Huizhou immediately to verify the details."

"The subordinate officer takes the order." After saying that, Pei An retreated again, but this time the sedan chair had already been carried over, and Pei An hurriedly got in.

In the political affairs hall, Xu Nan and Chen Zongxiang had already ordered people to hang up the map of Huizhou and overseas, and the sand table only showed the terrain of Huizhou for a while, and the red flag belonging to Zheng Guo in Linhai County had been replaced with a small black flag.

Qin Kang's eyes were like lightning staring at the east of Huizhou, which was the closest island to Jinghe and Zheng Guo.

The eyes moved to the north again, not far from Xiguo Island is Jingwu, the two look pitiful compared to Jingwu, even the north of Jingwu Han, the country is a little not enough, Jingwu and Hanji have always been in a state of union, in order to fight with Jinghe in the civil strife, but Hanji and the two countries are not clear about how strong Jinghe was in the beginning, and the battle with the former Chu is less than defeated.

"I'm afraid that Han Ji has changed, as for Jingwu, King Jingwu may all be Jinghe."

Xu Nan and Chen Zongxiang, who were frowning at Yutu together, were surprised: "A few years ago, Jinyiwei also had news that the three kingdoms of Jingguo were established, and it was only less than half a year. ”

Qin Kang replied: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and vice versa." What's more, Jinghe is attacking me, I have been shaking all states for 200 years, why is Jinghe so bold for more than 2,000 miles, and the rear will definitely be unified. Jingwu is a small country and the people are weak, the year before last, Han raised troops to attack the country, and both sides suffered heavy losses for more than a year, and Jinghe sent troops at this time to see the right time. ”

Xu Nan and Chen Zongxiang were silent, their brows higher than the other.

"Well, it's not much worse, let's say so." Qin Kang made a decision directly.

"Great Minister, do you want to wait a little longer, and then consider it?" Xu Nan reminded in a low voice.

"Xu Xianggong, you are the ruler, you must have your own judgment, and you can't hesitate when you should have the courage." Qin Kang was unceremonious, and directly opened his mouth to educate, Qin Kang, who had been the first assistant for nearly 20 years, had a bad temper when he made a decision, but it was undeniable that his eyes were vicious, accurate, and full of experience.

"Yes, yes, remember the teachings of the Great Minister."

"This pavilion is now going to enter the palace, and the saint Xu Xianggong will go with the pavilion, and there will be Lao Chen Xianggong in the cabinet."

Chen Zongxiang hurriedly replied: "Don't worry. ”

At the same time that Qin Kang had just finished reading the military newspaper, Cao Ju had just put down his teacup, looked at Li Jiutang, who looked wrong, and the military newspaper in his hand and asked, "Huizhou? Who is it this time? Yasukuni or Han Ji? It's really a tiger taking a nap, and all the monkeys are coming out. ”

Chen Zhong took the military report in Li Jiutang's hand and felt extremely heavy, and there were blood stains on it, which were extremely dazzling.

"Who knows about this?" Cao Ju, who took over the military newspaper, didn't open it directly to read it, it's not good news, don't be so anxious about yourself, the old man always has to be kind to himself.

"Back to the saint, at present, no one knows except for Wei Chen, the left and right servants of our military department, Cao Yishan, the commander of the Nine Gates, and the auxiliary ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, and the military newspaper is the minister's own hand-copied to the Political Affairs Hall, and it is impossible for it to be leaked. As for the political hall, Qin Shoufu will not speak falsely about the country. ”

"Well, it's done well, and the people's hearts can't be messed up on the day of the founding of the country today." Cao Ju nodded, then opened the military newspaper and read it.

The Yasukuni Army, known as Baiwu, has already plundered six counties in Linhai.

It can be seen that the military newspaper is in a hurry, and the payment is made by Xue Daoxi, the commander of the Huizhou Wei Bingzi Battalion.

Yasukuni? There should be no doubt that Jinghe should be, and the total number of young and strong people in the entire country of Jingwu may not be enough for 1.5 million, just a place with a big palm.

Although 1.5 million is just to say it to scare people, but bragging has to be based on objective conditions, no, Jingwu boasted that he launched 150,000 people, everyone is likely to think it's a joke, and it's okay to fart.

"Baiwu picks up 10,000? Are there so many people in Jinghe? Cao Ju smiled, thinking that he was a big Zheng Siye, with a population of tens of thousands of people, sitting on the land of twenty-one states, although there are still two confiscated back, but the whole does not affect the whole, just the four battalions, six armies, twenty-one state guards in the country, plus some local reserve armies, plus the water division, all of which are less than two million in total, one Jinghe adds up, but the three states of Zheng State are still a bunch of islands, and they have been in chaos for two hundred years, can they afford to produce an army of 1.5 million? What about the clay man?

"Back to the saint, Wei Chen thinks that the numbers on this military newspaper are likely to be real numbers." Obviously, Li Jiutang has done his homework, and as the secretary of the military department, he has a general understanding of any surrounding country that may become a threat, Jinghe is a threat, and Jingwu is just a rabbit.
